Sosialisasi Pencegahan Penyelahgunaan Narkoba di Desa Sokolelah: Upaya Mewujudkan Masyarakat Bebas Narkoba

Abstract

Drug abuse is one of the crucial problems that can threaten the future of the nation’s young generation. Sokolelah Village, Pamekasan Regency, as part of a rural area, is not exempt from this potential threat, especially with the increasing flow of information through the internet and the high mobility of the community as a result of technological development. Therefore, this community service program aims to provide education and raise public awareness about the dangers of drugs, as well as to encourage the active involvement of village communities as the front guard in creating a clean and drug-free environment. The methods used in this program include socialization, face-to-face counseling, interactive discussions and Q&A sessions, as well as the distribution of educational media. The activity was attended by various elements of the community, including youth, religious leaders, community leaders, and the local police (Babinkamtibnas). The results of the activity showed enthusiasm and positive responses from the participants, as indicated by their increased understanding of the dangers of drugs and the growing collective commitment to prevent drug trafficking and abuse in Sokolelah Village. Thus, this activity not only strengthened the community’s understanding of the negative impacts of drugs but also encouraged village-level collaboration in creating a healthy, productive, and drug-free environment.
